< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “Báyìí, ọmọ ènìyàn, mú ìdá tí ó mú kí o sì fi ṣe abẹ ìfárí onígbàjámọ̀, kí o fi fá irun orí àti irùngbọ̀n rẹ. Fi irun yìí sórí ìwọ̀n kí o sì pín in.
“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.
2 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ìgbóguntì bá parí, sun ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́ta irun yìí níná láàrín ìlú. Mú ìdákan nínú mẹ́ta kí o fi idà bù ú káàkiri ìlú. Kí o sì tú ìdákan yòókù ká sínú afẹ́fẹ́. Nítorí pé pẹ̀lú idà ni èmi yóò máa lé wọn ká.
Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n mú díẹ̀ nínú irun yìí kí o sì ta á mọ́ etí aṣọ rẹ.
But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.
4 Tún ju díẹ̀ nínú irun yìí sínú iná, kí o sun ún níná. Torí pé láti ibẹ̀ ni iná yóò ti jáde lọ sí gbogbo ilé Israẹli.
Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”
5 “Báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èyí ní Jerusalẹmu, tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ sí àárín àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìlú gbogbo tí o yí i ká.
The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.
6 Síbẹ̀ nínú ìwà búburú rẹ ó ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ si òfin àti ìlànà mi ju àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn ilẹ̀ tó yí i ká lọ. Ó ti kọ òfin mi sílẹ̀, o kò sì pa ìlànà mi mọ́.
But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”
7 “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìgbọ́ràn ju àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí yín ká lọ, tí ẹ kò sì tẹ̀lé ìlànà mi tàbí kí o pa òfin mi mọ́. O kò tilẹ̀ túnṣe dáradára tó àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”
8 “Nítorí náà báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi gan an lòdì sí ọ, Jerusalẹmu, èmi yóò sì jẹ ọ́ ní yà lójú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká.
therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.
9 Nítorí gbogbo ohun ìríra rẹ, èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí n kò tí ì ṣe rí láàrín rẹ àti èyí tí n kò ní í ṣe irú rẹ̀ mọ́.
I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.
10 Nítorí náà láàrín rẹ àwọn baba yóò máa jẹ ọmọ wọn, àwọn ọmọ náà yóò máa jẹ baba wọn. Èmi yóò jẹ ọ́ ní yà, èmi yóò sì tú àwọn tó bá ṣẹ́kù ká sínú ẹ̀fúùfù.
Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.
11 Nítorí náà, Olúwa Olódùmarè wí pé, bí mo ṣe wà láààyè, nítorí pé ìwọ ti sọ ibi mímọ́ mi di àìmọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn àwòrán ẹ̀gbin àti àwọn ohun ìríra rẹ, èmi yóò mú ojúrere mi kúrò lára rẹ, èmi kò ní í da ọ sí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò wò ọ́ pẹ̀lú àánú mọ́.
Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.
12 Ìdámẹ́ta nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò kú nípa àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn tàbí kí ìyàn run wọ́n: ìdámẹ́ta yóò ṣubú nípa idà lẹ́yìn odi rẹ, èmi yóò sì tú ìdámẹ́ta yòókù ká sínú ẹ̀fúùfù, èmi yóò sì máa fi idà lé wọn.
A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.
13 “Ìbínú mi yóò sì dúró, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìbínú gbígbóná mi yóò sì rọlẹ̀, èmi yóò sì ti gba ẹ̀san mi. Nígbà tí mo bá sì parí ìbínú mi lórí wọn, wọn ó mọ̀ pé, Èmi Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìtara mi.
Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.
14 “Èmi yóò fi ọ́ ṣòfò, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ẹ̀gàn fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká, àti lójú àwọn tó ń kọjá.
I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.
15 O ó wá di ẹ̀gàn, ẹ̀sín àti ẹ̀kọ̀ àti ohun ẹ̀rù àti ìyanu fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tó yí ọ ká, nígbà tí mo bá fìyà jẹ ọ́ nínú ìbínú àti nínú ìbínú gbígbóná mi. Èmi Olúwa ni ó sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.
So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!
16 Nígbà tí èmi ó rán ọfà búburú ìyàn sí wọn, èyí tí yóò jẹ́ fún ìparun wọn. Èmí tí èmi yóò rán run yín. Èmí yóò sì sọ ìyàn di púpọ̀ fún yín. Èmí yóò sì ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá oúnjẹ yín.
I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.
17 Èmi yóò rán ìyàn àti ẹranko búburú sí i yín, wọn yóò fi yín sílẹ̀ ni àìlọ́mọ. Àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn àti ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ yóò kọjá láàrín yín. Èmi yóò si mú idà wá sórí rẹ. Èmi Olúwa ló sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
